Zhengqi Sect is not a large sect, but a medium-sized sect.
In the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the size of the sect is determined by the strength of the sect and the number of disciples in the sect. Both are indispensable. Unlike the aristocratic family, which only depends on the foundation and strength. After all, no matter how strong the aristocratic family is, it must
Being attached to a dynasty kingdom is granted and recognized by the king of a country; but a sect is outside the court and belongs to the category of "jianghu", so it naturally has another set of judgment standards.
Like the Zhengqi Sect, the strongest people in the sect are Gao Ye and the two deputy sect leaders, both of whom are in the sixth level of the Upper Immortal Realm, followed by the three elders in the fourth and fifth realms of the Upper Immortal Realm, and the number of disciples in the sect is
There are also nearly a thousand people. Even if they are divided into three factions: military strategist, political strategist, and Mohist disciples, each faction has an average of two to three hundred people.
But now, the number of disciples of Zhengqi Sect is only about five hundred.
Because of this expedition, these sects all have a minimum number of people to send: 100 people for small sects, 300 to 500 people for medium sects, and 1,000 people for large sects - the whole Zhengqi sect can only have 1,000 people.
Although they barely met the standard qualifications of a middle-level sect, they were actually not considered a relatively strong middle-level sect, so the Qianyuan Dynasty gave them a forced recruitment quota of 300 people.
At this time, Chen Tiannan glanced at the disciples of the Zhengqi Sect around him, but he also sighed helplessly.
He went on this expedition as a guest of Yanxia Village and was not considered a disciple of the Zhengqi Sect. Although he also helped the disciples of the Zhengqi Sect during the great defeat, judging from the current situation, those who were defeated by him
If not all of the Zhengqi Sect disciples who helped him were killed in the battle, most of them would be injured when they came back, so he didn't see any familiar faces here at this time.
"Are we going to talk here?" Chen Tiannan asked.
"if you do not mind."
Chen Tiannan glanced at his master, and saw his master Zhao Feng shaking his head slightly.
Chen Tiannan, who suddenly understood, stopped arguing about this issue and said directly: "This time, I am here as an envoy of the Taiyi Sect to discuss with your sect. I hope that your sect can join our Taiyi Sect."
"Can you fully represent Taiyi Sect?"
"Okay." Chen Tiannan nodded, "To be honest, I don't want any conflict with Zhengqi Sect. After all, I learned all my skills here, so if possible, I hope your sect can agree with me.
proposal."
"Is it that simple?" Takano asked, "Are there no other requirements and conditions?"
"Of course there are." Chen Tiannan said slowly, "First of all, with the participation of Guizong, all the classics need to be handed over. We will reorganize these classics and then evaluate them according to the potential value of the skills before putting them on the shelves.
At the Library Pavilion, any disciple belonging to the Taiyi Sect, as long as they have enough points, can go to the Library Pavilion of the Taiyi Sect to redeem them."
Having said this, Chen Tiannan paused deliberately, and then slowly continued: "Including all the techniques of our Taiyi Sect, they are all open to the disciples of the sect, so as long as you have enough sect points, you can
All can be exchanged.”
Hearing Chen Tiannan's words, the disciples of Zhengqi Sect all made a restless noise.
Obviously, these people were a little moved.
Takano also chuckled.
He certainly knew Chen Tiannan's intentions.
As the head of Zhengqi Sect, he naturally knows which disciples in his sect have outstanding talents.
Therefore, as for Chen Tiannan, he had heard Zhao Feng mention it several times - he was very talented. As a disciple of a military strategist, although he was slightly inferior in martial arts, he was extremely talented in the art of military strategy, and he also had both abilities.
Those who have cultivated the He Zong Lian Heng of the Zong Heng family are very rare talents. If they are born in troubled times, they will be able to withstand the evaluation of "Zhong Xing". But unfortunately, they have demons in their hearts, and they will fall into evil ways if they are not careful.
Now he doesn't know whether Chen Tiannan has fallen into evil heretics.
But the current situation is exactly worthy of the saying of "troubled times", so this stage is naturally the most suitable for Chen Tiannan to perform-didn't you see that just one sentence from him has already destroyed the morale of the Zhengqi Sect who share the same hatred with the enemy?
Everyone has selfish motives.
Those who have no selfish thoughts are called saints.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to obtain sect points, right?" Gao Ye said.
As the head of a sect, although Zhengqi Sect does not popularly use the term "sect points", he has heard about similar methods - many sects in the monastic world of the Qianyuan Dynasty had similar methods.
Point-based measures, but they are called sect merit. Only sect members who have made significant contributions to the sect may receive merit rewards.
"I know what Sect Leader Gao is thinking." Chen Tiannan shook his head, "Our Taiyi Sect's sect points are different from the so-called achievements of those big sects... Taiyi Sect has an affairs hall, which contains various
Their tasks range from cleaning the various halls of the sect, clearing rubbish on the steps, even taking care of the sect’s spirit beasts, guarding the alchemy furnace for other elders, running errands and delivering letters, etc. The larger tasks include exploring secret realms, collecting materials, patrolling mountains and eliminating monsters.
Wait, different tasks will have different sect point rewards according to different difficulties. As long as you are willing, even monks with low talent and low cultivation can find tasks that suit them and accumulate points."
"Furthermore, sect points are not only used for the exchange of exercises in the Sutra Pavilion, but can range from supplying all daily expenses to exchanging elixirs for realm breakthroughs or elixirs for maintaining cultivation levels, etc., and even various magic weapons.
You can use your sect points to redeem magical weapons. ...Even, as long as you have enough points, you can also hire sect deacons and elders to teach you and resolve your doubts."
Takano was stunned for a moment.
Obviously, what Chen Tiannan said was completely different from what he imagined.
"And it's not just that." Chen Tiannan spoke again, "Any disciple of Taiyi Sect, all gains from exploring the secret realm belong to the individual, and the sect will not ask you to hand it over. But if you are willing to hand over your gains to the sect.
, then you can also exchange it for the corresponding sect points. ... Of course, if multiple people obtain the same skill, then naturally only the first person to turn it in can get the points. But if the second or even the following ones
What you turn in are the cultivation insights and annotations of this technique, and you can also get points."
This time, it was not just the ordinary disciples of Zhengqi Sect who were agitated.
Many middle-level people in the Zhengqi Sect have also begun to be attracted.
Even Chen Tiannan's master, Zhao Feng, also had his eyes lit up.
"The conditions given by the Taiyi Sect are so good, the plot is not small, right?" Takano quickly suppressed his slightly rapid breathing, and the whole person quickly became calm, "This time the Taiyi Sect and Qian
In the war between the Yuan Dynasty, all the sects that have taken refuge will be sent to the front line, right?"
"I don't know about this." Chen Tiannan said noncommittally, "I am only responsible for... the recruitment this time. I am not responsible for the specific war against the Qianyuan Dynasty. However, I can reveal that with Elder Shangguan here, the Qianyuan Dynasty can be restored in a short time.
The dynasty cannot afford to cause any trouble."
Not only Gao Ye, but almost everyone present had slightly changed expressions: "People massacre Shangguan Xin?"
Chen Tiannan nodded.
This time, Taiyimen's movement was quite large, and it could be said that it was almost without any cover. It led hundreds of people across the Black Sea Gobi and directly entered the territory of the Qianyuan Dynasty.
Shangguan Xin went deep alone and was currently in Tianlan Prefecture. The Qianyuan Dynasty divided the territory into twelve prefectures. Among them, Heilan Prefecture and Hailan Prefecture bordered the Black Sea and Gobi. Further west, these two prefectures were
Tianlan Prefecture, Tianyun Prefecture, and Tianqing Prefecture are three prefectures. Among them, Tianlan Prefecture is located between the three prefectures. To the north, you can retreat to Heilan and Hailan Prefectures, to the south, you can enter Tianyun Prefecture, and to the north, you can reach Tianyun Prefecture.
Enter Tianqing Prefecture, and then go west to Baiyun Prefecture.
It can be said that Tianlan Prefecture was a very important strategic location for the Qianyuan Dynasty - all the defeated troops who failed in this expedition were basically concentrated here, so Shangguan Xin entered this prefecture alone, which was equivalent to containing it.
The Qianyuan Dynasty currently has nearly one-third of its legionary monks, forcing both Heilan and Hailan Prefectures into a state of control.
Being able to find the biggest weakness of the Qianyuan Dynasty so accurately is naturally attributed to Chen Tiannan.
Because most of the registered small and medium-sized sects in the Qianyuan Dynasty were assigned to these two states by the Qianyuan Dynasty. So in other words, the loss of control in the Heilan and Hailan states made the Qianyuan Dynasty have no control over these sects.
His control power is almost zero, which gives Chen Tiannan an opportunity to take advantage of - his ambition is not small, and if there are only a few small and medium-sized sects, it will naturally not be able to satisfy him.
So he targeted all the sects in these two states from the beginning!
"It seems like we have no choice." Takano smiled bitterly.
"Master!" Elder Tie looked shocked.
"I know that you have contact with the state pastor of Heilan Prefecture." Gaoye turned his head, glanced at Elder Tie, and then slowly said, "What promise he gave you, I can guess even if you don't tell me. But that
It was before...but now that we have a better choice, there is no reason for us to choose the Qianyuan Dynasty, right?"
The leaders of Zhengqi Sect in the past generations can only succeed from the political lineage, and the other two lines will take over the position of deputy sect leader.
If there are no accidents, Elder Tie, who is now in charge of all affairs related to the Zhengheng family, will be the next head of the Zhengqi Sect in the future. Chen Tiannan’s master Zhao Feng and another elder of the Mo family are now,
In the future, they will also become the deputy sect masters of Zhengqi Sect - but since Zhengqi Sect does not have a position mechanism such as supreme elder, if the three of them want to succeed, they really can only wait until the current deputy sect masters and sect masters are appointed.
Death will do.
"But..." Elder Tie was still unwilling.
"I understand your thinking." Gao Ye nodded, "If everyone in our sect has joined Taiyi Sect, you will naturally not be able to continue to serve as an elder, but you have to take a longer view. Even in a large sect, even if
Just serving as a deacon is better than becoming the head of a sect, isn't it?"
Elder Tie fell into silence.
At this time, Chen Tiannan spoke again: "About this matter... I have one more thing to add."
"Go ahead." Gao Ye nodded.
"I have asked the acting head, our Taiyi Sect still has some requirements in terms of job arrangements." Chen Tiannan said, "Only those who are above the seventh level of immortality are qualified to serve as elders, and those who are above the fifth level of immortality are qualified to serve as elders.
You are qualified to serve as a deacon...but having sufficient cultivation does not mean that you will be qualified, but you still need to undergo some assessments. Only after you complete the assessments will you make job arrangements."
Upon hearing Chen Tiannan's words, all the senior officials of the Zhengqi Sect, including Gao Ye, were stunned.
"According to what you mean...even I can only be a deacon for the time being?" Takano asked.
"Yes." Chen Tiannan nodded, "But Sect Leader Gao, you are practicing He Zong Lian Heng of the Zong Heng family, so I believe there should be many opportunities for you to perform. For the current Taiyi Sect, as long as you have enough credit
, it is not impossible to promote positions in an exceptional way.”
Takano was stunned for a moment.
But soon, he realized what Chen Tiannan meant when he said this.
The main purpose of Confucianism is to cultivate the aura of awe-inspiring people and cultivate the body, so as to quickly improve one's own realm and strength.
But Confucianism does not mean that there is only one sect of "Confucianism". It is just because the first person who created this cultivation system was a Confucian saint, so the military strategists, legalists, political strategists, Yin-Yang schools, Taoists, Mohists, etc.
Hundreds of schools of thought were merged into the Confucian system. Later, with the improvement of the Taoist and Legal system, Taoism and the Yin-Yang School also broke away from Confucianism and became the "Tao" of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
Takano originally came from the political strategist group.
What this faction is best at is combining vertical and horizontal forces - to put it more bluntly, they are diplomats.
Chen Tiannan wants to annex all the sects in Heilan Prefecture and Hailan Prefecture. It is absolutely impossible for him to do it alone. After all, judging from the expression of Elder Tie, we can know that the Qianyuan Dynasty is now also
is taking action, so if he doesn't act faster, then the Qianyuan Dynasty may eventually complete a new round of integration, and then there will be capital to confront Taiyi Sect.
Although after knowing the details of the Taiyi Sect, Chen Tiannan is quite confident in the Taiyi Sect, and there are still several trump cards that have not been revealed. If there is a fight, Chen Tiannan really is not optimistic about the Qianyuan Dynasty.
But the problem is that as a military strategist, he knows very well that a real war is not just about the competition of top combat power, but involves many aspects. In particular, this time they entered as intruders from the Taiyi Sect.
The Qianyuan Dynasty, this time it was the Qianyuan Dynasty that occupied the advantageous location, not the Taiyi Sect.
So once the top combat forces are dragged here, the Qianyuan Dynasty launches a mobilization war of the lower-level personnel. Even if the Taiyi Sect can win by then, I am afraid that it will have to pay a heavy price. This is also the case for Fang Qianwen, Shangguan Xin and others
The reason for giving strong support to Chen Tiannan when he came to incorporate these sects that were attached to the Qianyuan Dynasty.
After Chen Tiannan incorporated the four small sects near the advance base, he chose Zhengqi Sect as his first stop, not just because this sect was his sect in the past, but also because this sect had several sects.
